Coming October 1st

I was thirteen years old when my mother – retired supermodel, Tig –
married Mosier Răumann, who was twice her age and the head of the
Răumann crime family.

When I turned eighteen, my mother mysteriously died. Only then did I
discover the dark plans my stepfather had in store for me all along;
the debauched “work” he expected me to do.

With the help of my godfather, Gus, I have escaped from Mosier’s
clutches, but his twin sons and henchmen have been tasked with hunting
me down. And they will stop at nothing to return my virgin body to their
father

…dead or alive.

This “Cinderella”-inspired contemporary romance finds young beauty,
Ashley Ellis, on the run from her evil stepfather when she meets
ex-Secret Service agent, Jesse Ducharmes.

FRAGMENTS OF ASH is part of the ~a modern fairytale~ collection by New York Times bestselling author, Katy Regnery.

ENTER TO WIN!

My mind skitters to her
face—her beautiful fucking face—and the way she stared at me with those wide
eyes and her lips lightly parted. Those lips. She has Angelina Jolie lips.
Scarlett Johanssen lips. Liv-fucking-Tyler from the “Crazy” video lips. Except this
chick doesn’t look like Liv. She’s got blonde hair and a perfect pout like
Alicia Silverstone. I remember the beginning of that video when our girl,
Alicia, climbs out a bathroom window in her Catholic school uniform, her skirt
riding up to show her black lace panties…and ahhh, yes, I feel my cock twitch
just picturing it.

Fuck my life.

Shit. Shit. Shit.

Because yeah, I was yelling at
Jock, but she was standing behind him, and I didn’t miss the tight lines of her
teenaged body under a pair of new jeans and a long-sleeved T-shirt. Her rounded
tits strained just a little against the fabric of her top. Not enough to be
dirty. Just enough to hate her. Because no guy alive—least of all me—has a
right to want someone like her. Or sure, we can want her, but we’ll
never have her. Not in a million years.

She looked to be about
Noelle’s age—somewhere between eighteen and twenty, and ridiculously young to
suddenly arrive alone in the middle of nowhere, put up in an old farmhouse by a
couple of aging queens.

How in the fuck is
this her best option?

Who is she?

And what exactly is her
deal?

I grimace because the
headlines of her story—the easy parts—start materializing as I think about what
I know about her. I didn’t do all that training for nothing. Plus, I have good
instincts. I could practically smell it on her—the fear, the desperation, the
way she wouldn’t meet me eyes except to insist that she was an adult.

God, what a joke. If she’s an
adult, I’m a French poodle.

Then something occurs to me:
it was Jock’s boyfriend, Gus, who gave away the most important part of her
story away.

She has nowhere else to go.

And then something else occurs
to me, and I wonder, Is she in hiding?

This girl—what’s her name?
Amber? Audrey?—is in trouble. Big trouble. The kind of trouble that gets
other people in hot water when they were just trying to live their lives and
mind their own business. And she’s been dumped on my doorstep. Literally.

New York Times and USA Today
bestselling author Katy Regnery started her writing career by enrolling in
a short story class in January 2012. One year later, she signed her first
contract, and Katy’s first novel was published in September 2013.

Thirty-five books later,
Katy claims authorship of the multititled New
York Times and USA Today bestselling
Blueberry Lane Series, which follows the English, Winslow, Rousseau, Story, and
Ambler families of Philadelphia; the six-book, bestselling ~a modern fairytale~
series; and several other stand-alone novels and novellas, including the
critically-acclaimed, USA Today
bestselling contemporary romance, Unloved,
a love story.

Katy’s first modern
fairytale romance, The Vixen and the Vet,
was nominated for a RITA® in 2015
and won the 2015 Kindle Book Award for
romance. Katy’s boxed set, The
English Brothers Boxed Set, Books #1–4, hit the USA Today bestseller list in 2015, and her Christmas
story, Marrying Mr. English, appeared
on the list a week later. In May 2016, Katy’s Blueberry Lane collection, The Winslow Brothers Boxed Set, Books #1–4, became a New York Times e-book bestseller.

Katy’s books are available in English, French, German, Italian,
Portuguese and Turkish.

Katy lives in the relative
wilds of northern Fairfield County, Connecticut, where her writing room looks
out at the woods, and her husband, two young children, two dogs, and one Blue
Tonkinese kitten create just enough cheerful chaos to remind her that the very
best love stories begin at home.
